Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Salvagnini B3 170/3000 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Salvagnini B3 170/3000 delivers 170 tons across a 3,060 mm (120.5 in) table in the standard B3 frame. It is the strongest three-metre model before the range moves to the deeper XL structure.
Salvagnini's table gives it the same envelope as the B3 135/3000: 4,310 mm total length, 1,735 mm width, 3,295 mm height and a mass of 11,700 kg (25,794 lb). What changes is the force, and the average consumption, which is listed at 2 kWh. A shop therefore gets the higher tonnage without giving up floor space.
Ram figures are the quick ones. Approach and return reach 250 mm/s and bending speed is 15 mm/s. Throat depth is 435 mm, maximum stroke 350 mm and table-ram distance 600 mm. The B3 170/3000XL offers the same force and table with a 520 mm throat and a 450 mm stroke, but its approach speed drops to 180 mm/s. If the parts are flat panels and profiles, the standard frame cycles faster.
Frequent thickness changes are handled by the MVM option, a variable opening die that adapts the V automatically from the program. It is an alternative to the ATA.L lower tool adjuster.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The B3 170/3000XL has a 520 mm throat depth, a 450 mm maximum stroke and a 700 mm table-ram distance, and weighs 17,000 kg; the B3 170/3000XL approaches and returns at 180 mm/s. The B3 170/3000 has 435 mm, 350 mm and 600 mm, weighs 11,700 kg (25,794 lb) and reaches 250 mm/s.
02
Maximum bending force is 170 tons, on a table length of 3,060 mm (120.5 in) with 2,640 mm between the side frames. Bending speed is 15 mm/s, regulated by current standards.
03
MVM is the variable opening die. It automatically adapts the opening of the V on the basis of the program, so materials with different thicknesses or bending radii can be bent in sequence. It is an alternative to ATA.L.
04
Average consumption is listed at 2 kWh. Salvagnini explains that the Direct Drive system adapts energy consumption to the need of the bending process in real time, using only the power required.
